This reminded me of the guy that built a meme database using iPhone's OCR as well [1].

I find incredible the idea of giving these devices another life. I wonder how hard is to host a sort-of vps on an abandoned android phone these days... I guess as long as you can put ethernet + docker you'd have a very capable device.

This was a great read!

I'd never heard of a website hosted in any way on an iOS device... makes me wish it was an option.
